Can someone point me towards the IRS ruling that the Underestimated Tax Penalty - Form 2210 - can't be recomputed on a later amended return. Thanks.

I have dutifully tried The Yellow Box of Search but I get either Everything or Nothing. Operator Error, I'm sure, but I don't have time to learn new tricks...

I'm busy backpeddling right now. When I get to where I've come from, I'll let you know.



Kid: "I'd like to buy a round trip ticket, please."

Greyhound Bus Agent: "To where?"

Kid: "Why to here, of course!"

Can't help you with the ruling but here's a paragraph from the instructions:
Return. In these instructions, “return” refers to your original return. However, an amended return is considered the original return if it is filed by the due date (including extensions) of the original return. Also, a joint return that replaces previously filed separate returns is considered the original return.

Wait for D&T, though, he's seen it in action (here).

Rev Ruling 83-36

Found it given by Riley in Discussion: Penalty Abatement

SCCPA (talk|edits) said:

22 October 2009
See Sec. 6654 IRC. The estimated tax penalty is based in part on the required annual payment defined in Sec. 6654(d)(1)(B)


B) Required annual payment For purposes of subparagraph (A), the term required annual payment means the lesser of -

i) 90 percent of the tax shown on the return for the taxable year (or, if no return is filed, 90 percent of the tax for such year), or


(ii) 100 percent of the tax shown on the return of the individual for the preceding taxable year. Clause (ii) shall not apply if the preceding taxable year was not a taxable year of 12 months or if the individual did not file a return for such preceding taxable year.''


Note the wording refers to the tax shown on the return, not the tax required to be shown on the return.

And this raises a rather Harry-like question:

Do you ask because you are amending the current return and the penalty could be changed, or did you amend the prior year return and found the estimated tax requirement for the current year had changed?
